The 2013-14 Ice season Tick list

It's September. The first frost of the season has already come, and for us ice climbers, if our minds weren't already thinking about it in August, we're thinking about it now. Gear is located, layers re-washed an nikwaxed, and the ever inspirational tick list takes shape in our heads.

These routes can be "just have to get that out of the way" routes, "that's at the top end of my abilities" routes, "destination" routes, or perhaps you just saw a cool pic of the route and you said: "I want to do THAT."

At DRY ICE, we are ice and mixed climbers. When we're making, promoting, and selling tools, we are doing it with the end goal of climbing harder firmly in sight. That translates to a lot of daydreaming about routes.
